As Americans continue to gather for justice & real change, @DOJ_EOIR has been closing #immigrationcourts in major urban centers throughout the US early due to "civil unrest"--but Eloy is well outside of Phoenix in the AZ desert. Are the rattlesnakes rising up, or
oh come ON

Just a few examples from the last few days
truth

So either:

1) EOIR is overestimating risk posed by mass peaceful protest

2) EOIR doesn't want to endure sight of mass peaceful protest

3) AG Barr (head of the #immigrationcourt system) wants to exaggerate threat of mass peaceful protest

Any other theories?
Worth mentioning that the regular business of the #immigrationcourt system is cancelled until the end of the month for everything but the deportation cases of people in ICE custody... and Eloy is 100% detained.

1/ Trump seems to be doing everything he possibly can today to be sure that he will seem to have no choice but to invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy the military into American cities.

I don't have to tell you how bad this is. But I do have to tell you how it came to be legal
2/ Necessary disclaimer: this is a bit out of my lane, but I did a lot of research on the lawful use of the military on U.S. soil for this @newrepublic piece on Trump's probably-illegal use of National Guard to enforce immigration law at the border

newrepublic.com/article/153760…
3/ The Insurrection Act of 1806 was originally designed to be used as little as possible, and carefully circumscribed federal (and especially executive) authority. It had to, as the principle of "posse comitatus" is supposed to keep the military out of domestic law enforcement

Not even three months ago I noted that CBP had established a foothold in blue cities which would start to allow them to do things well beyond their agency mandate and increasingly resemble a general federal police force before November.

Really wish I'd been wrong on this one.
ICYMI, here's that thread from Feb. At the time, I called sending CBP strike teams to sanctuary cities "the fashiest thing Trump has done yet." Seems like so many years ago now

lol not even *four* months ago, you know like 2006 or whatever

"due to civil unrest"
FYI, the only cases these courts are doing rn are those of people in ICE custody who will now have to be held for weeks longer if their cases (many of which may ultimately have them released from custody) aren't able to be heard today. This is not a win.
but I've never seen the phrase "due to civil unrest" actually ever used by the government before and I'm going to be thinking about this tweet for a long time
